Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is making me grow in love with you babe
Something in the summer breeze
Is blowing me into your arms babe
Girl you know you got me open there's no time for anyone else
You're a priceless pearl in my possession and you are rare
If you ever start to wonder what you mean to me
Let me sum it up in just two syllables
Water water
You are the earth beneath my feet
You are the wind that's blowing me (into your arms)
You are the fire in my heart (and most of all)
you are the purest ever made
Water water
Girl since I drink from your fountain I, I thirst no more babe
And girl you are the virtuous woman that I desire
Girl you know you got me open there's no time for anyone else
You're a priceless pearl in my possession and you are rare
If you ever start to wonder what you mean to me
Let me sum it up in just two syllables
Water water
You are the earth beneath my feet
You are the wind that's blowing me (into your arms)
You are the fire in my heart (most of all baby)
You are the purest ever made
Water water
I would run to the middle of the desert at the speed of light
Just to have one drop of you babe
I would run to the middle of the desert at the speed of light
Just to have one drop of you babe
You are the earth beneath my feet (yes you are)
You are the wind that's blowing me (blowing me to you)
You are the fire in my heart (you're the fire in my heart)
You are the purest ever made
Girl you're like water to me
Girl you're like water to me
Girl you're like water to me
Girl you're like water to me
